Zack Bruell, award-winning chef and restaurateur, announces
the opening of Chinato, an old-meets-new Italian culinary concept on
Cleveland’s East Fourth Street. Chinato, named after a flavorful
Italian after-dinner wine enriched with herbs, spices and Cinchona bark,
is Bruell’s fourth restaurant within the city of Cleveland.
Bruell designed Chinato’s menu
to highlight the simplicity of all Italian cuisine, not
limiting himself to one region or technique. “Authentic Italian food is
simple and flavorful – regardless of whether you’re in Tuscany, Sicily
or Campania,” said Bruell. “I wanted to stay true to that.” Chinato’s
menu features Bruell’s take on simplistic Italian dishes, like Bistecca
ala Florentina, accented with Lemon; Sweetbread Fritto Misto with Fried
Caper Berries, Carrot and Zucchini Julienne; and Raviolis with Pork,
Veal, Zucchini and Shiitake Mushrooms with Melted Butter and Parmesan.
Antipasti offerings are just as appealing, with options like Buratta
with Grilled Toast and Cold Tomato Basil Sauce and Involtini of Eggplant
Stuffed with Ricotta and Shrimp.
